]]>Non-meat “meat” products are popping up everywhere, and next on the list is KFC to serve Vegan ‘Chicken’. The restaurant chain is running tests on a vegan version of it’s famous fried chicken at an Atlanta KFC location staring Tuesday, CNBC reports. The plant-based “meat” product is that of the popular and rapidly growing company Beyond Meat, making KFC the first national US fast food chain to begin testing the company’s chicken. Del Taco and Carl’s Jr also offer beyond meat while it’s rival, Impossible Foods, have locked plant-based deals with Burger King, White Castle, and Little Caesars.

The Atlanta-based location will provide customers free Beyond Chicken samples to go along with their current orders. “Customer feedback from the Atlanta test will be considered as KFC evaluates a broader test or potential national rollout,” KFC says in a statement. Beyond Meat’s restaurant partnerships have been limited to burgers, sausages and ground beef, but as of recently large conglomerates such as Tyson Foods and Perdue Farms are also working on chicken substitutes.

While an abundance of animal protein alternative have copied the taste and texture of chicken, KFC decided on a partnership with Beyond Meat’s popular chicken substitute. This product is made from amazing plant-based products like soy and pea protein, rice flour, carrot fiber, onion powder and garlic powder.

Since the increase demand of Beyond Meat products their stock as soared over the last 6 months.

]]>In a world that now offers an abundance of vegan restaurants, dairy-free options are now the norm. No surprise here that there’s an increase demand for vegan ice cream. In terms of statistics more than 60,000 search our recipes each month. If you don’t feel like making it on your own there’s now shops offering dairy-free options, including the biggest one of all, Baskin-Robbins. What time to be a vegan! With plant-based food rising in popularity (sales are up 31% in the past 2 years) their two new flavors added to the menu, Non-Dairy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Non-Dairy Chocolate Extreme. These two flavors are put together with a base of coconut oil and almond butter, yum! According to Baskin-Robbins they’re free of preservatives high fructose corn syrup, and artificial flavors. The reason why it took them so long to release this new vegan ice cream is because their culinary team was hard at work researching for 2 years.

]]>Being vegan is great and we wouldn’t change it for the world, but when it’s Friday and someone suggests a take-out there’s a little part of us that wonders what’s going to be on the menu for us plant-based foodies. Some fast-food restaurants just haven’t caught up yet. However, the good news is that when it’s Mexican night you don’t have to miss out, as vegan Taco Bell is a thing and there are plenty of options to choose from. What’s more, it can be packed full of vegan protein.

You can swap out ingredients and customize your order as you please, meaning an endless amount of delicious combinations. The AVA (American Vegetarian Association) have even approved a fair amount of Taco Bell ingredients such as:

Seven Layered Burrito

Let’s start with O.G of burritos. This mammoth entrée is already suitable for our vegetarian friends, but with a switch-up of ingredients it can be vegan friendly too. Swap cheese and sour cream for onion and red strips and you have yourself a Mexican feast in a wrap.

Crunch or Soft Tacos

Great news! You can fill your tacos to the brim with vegan Taco Bell goodness. For your dose of vegan protein, order a black bean filling and then load up with guacamole, salsa and all the shredded lettuce you desire.

Veggie Power Bowl

Some days you’re just not feeling the carbs and that’s okay because the Veggie Power Bowl is just as delicious! Hold the cheese, sour cream and avocado ranch sauce and go wild with some alternative toppings and you’ll have one enviable naked burrito.

Bean Burrito

Is there anything more mouth-watering than refried beans? Taco Bell’s version are a vegan protein dream and they taste unbelievable in a burrito. We recommend saying ‘no’ to the cheese and just adding some extra tomato or lettuce, because the star of this show is absolutely the refried beans.

Crunchwrap Supreme

This Taco-Bell favourite comes in a vegan form! The beef, sour cream and cheese are out and the black beans are in and coupled with the lettuce and tomatoes that the original recipe includes, you’ll still get that crunchy-but-chewy texture.

Veggie Power Burrito

‘Veggie Power’ sounds like some kind of vegan super-power and we are so here for it. This burrito is packed full of black bean vegan protein and is totally vegan once you remove the cheese, sour cream and avocado ranch sauce.

Tostada

The open-faced sandwich of the Mexican food world, Taco Bell tostadas are great with refried beans spread over the crunchy surface, a sprinkling of lettuce and tomatoes and topped with a dollop of guacamole. Vegan heaven.

Mexican Pizza

A blend of the world’s two greatest things: pizza and Mexican food can be made vegan at Taco Bell. Get rid of the beef and cheese and opt for refried beans on the first layer. If you can’t go without cheese on your pizza then just add some of your favourite vegan cheese at home!

So to get you on your way to vegans without borders, check out this list of some of the most vegan friendly cities in the world:

Tel Aviv, Israel

Often lauded as one of the world’s leading cities for sheer number and support of vegans and veganism, Tel Aviv is an herbivorous paradise! Although there is a deep history in the life of veganism, over the past six years there has been something of a big bang that really set the practice into motion. Now, it is more casually known as “The Vegan Capital of the World”, a title that is well earned! Over 400 vegan friendly restaurants and eateries can be found in this city, and over 500 times as many practicing vegans. Not to mention, with such a sunny disposition Tel Aviv is also known for being one of the freshest serving trays in the world, making this a premiere vegan travel destination.

Phuket, Thailand

Veganism with a view! Not only is Phuket known for its stunning beaches and calming waters, but also for its cuisine! And with so much to choose from, it should come as no surprise that the vegan menu is fully stocked. Thailand is one of the premiere stops in any vegan travel bucket list. They even hold annual Vegetarian Festivals (that hold numerous Vegan options) for celebrating the best in living healthy and eating good! Here everything from street food to proper sit down restaurants offer up something for vegans everywhere… and typically at a budget friendly cost as well!

Portland, USA

Not just a stereotype, but a deliverance of promises! Portland, Oregon is one of the biggest hubs for vegan friendly lifestyles in the United States, and moreover, the world! Without even looking you can find a place that at least has vegan friendly options, never mind the abundance of entirely vegan shops and restaurants. Here you can go from vegan burgers to vegan sushi all the way vegan donuts and not have to leave the street. Although here, you might want to! With such a vibrant culture, there is a constant stream of new trends popping up all around town and new vegan places to try on a near daily basis! Portland is one city no travel vegan is going to want to miss.

London, England

Although it is already a prominent establishment in London, veganism is on a steady rise in all corners of the city. London is a place known for attracting tourists and locals alike, and with such rich diversity of visitors comes a truly diverse menu as well. In London you can experience the joys of vegan British pizza all the way to vegan coffee shops and the ratings all come back as superb. Over the course of a few years, the number of vegans in the city has doubled, and continued to rise ever since! And with this rush of demand, comes the supply in the form of some truly remarkable new age establishments, ripe for the tasting! London is even the proud home to a number of vegan friendly pubs and bars making this the perfect place to go out for a night of good fun and good food!

Berlin, Germany

Food as eccentric as the city! While ‘Berlin’ may not be the first name that comes to mind when planning veganism around the world, it is quickly making a name for itself in the industry. Berlin is a bustling city with a vibrant, lively youth grouping that is steadily pumping life into the vegan movement. Even some of their staple mark foods such as the Dönner have their delicious vegan counterparts (Vönner), and these shops can be found all over the town for a quick bite! Germany is also known for its devotion to all things fresh, whether that be bread or produce. This makes any vegan dish pop with that delicious burst of flavor you can’t get from any packaging. Berlin is one of the global hotspots for travel vegans everywhere.

New York City, USA

When they say you can get everything in New York, they mean everything! While the first image that may come to mind is greasy street side hotdogs and blinding city lights, New York is really a sum of a lot of smaller parts. Here you can find full neighborhoods of vegan friendly cuisine and other tasty options for alternative eating. New York City is the perfect place to go to if you’re looking for that perfect independent food stand, or bustling fresh markets. Not everything about New York is industrialized, and in some parts it actually embraces a new wave mindset on the fast track to eating right. Along with near daily open air markets, New York is another big city that embraces the world of fresh foods on most vegan plates. Try one of the many restaurants in the city, or visit one of their famous weekend markets to become a fresh chef yourself!

Paris, France

As a city known for having some of the best cuisine in the world, it should be no surprise Paris is leading the lists of travel vegan cities. Along with croissants and dairy-free pastries, there are also a number of city renowned vegan restaurants to be found in Paris. Paris is the place to go if you want to have dreams of your food months after your return date. It is also the best place to pick up a cooking lesson or two so that you might bring some of the deliciousness back with you! Whatever you choose in the city of love, you’re sure to find romance on a shiny silver platter in Paris! Bon appetite!

]]>The vegan lifestyle is slowly becoming popular amongst most Americans. In recent years, there has been a growth in the sale of plant-based milk alternatives and plant-based meat alternatives by 25% and 10% respectively. As a result, more and more vegan restaurants are mushrooming all over the country.
In the early days, there were claims that vegans could easily pass out since they mainly consume vegan vitamins making their bodies devoid of other nutrients such as proteins. On the spot were vegan athletes since their bodies needed lots of proteins to stay fit. These claims were, however, proved to be untrue because there’re vegan foods that contain proteins and irons.
However, despite being a vegan or vegan athlete, you need to supplement your diet with a suitable vegan vitamin. Below you will find the best multivitamin for vegan athletes

Best Multivitamin for Vegan Athletes

One of the best supplements to go for as a vegan or vegan athlete is Deva Nutrition Vegan Vitamins Daily Multivitamin & Mineral Tablets which is a vegan vitamins. The best choice would be women’s and men’s formula. The reason we recommend this is because of its benefits.
Both contain the following of your daily nutritional value, 100% Vitamin A, 250% Vitamin C, 100% Vitamin D2, 167% Vitamin E, 833% Vitamin B1, 735% Vitamin B1, 1667% Vitamin B12 and a lot more!
Because women are more prone to low-bone mineral density, this vegan multivitamin has 100mg of calcium.

You can review this item further by clicking on the image.

What vitamins and minerals could you be lacking as a vegan athlete or vegetarian?

Creatine: During periods of short intensive training such as gymnastics, weight training, or sprinting, you need lots of energy. Creatine serves as a reserve for the energy you require. Vegan athletes who consume lots of creatine are more likely to perform better by 10%. However, since creatine is found mainly in meat and fish, it has been found that vegan athletes and vegans do not consume creatine and instead go for more organic protein powders that you can find here.
Iron: Iron is an essential element in our bodies in the transportation of blood to body tissues. It’s thus a vital element during training and exercise. More to consider are women who might lose lots of it during menstruation. Heme-iron is mainly found in animal products and is highly absorbed in the body compared to non-heme consumed by most vegans.

Protein: The benefits of proteins in our bodies are uncountable; it’s needed in repairing and growth of body tissues and in controlling the brain functions. As a vegan, you need proteins, too. Since animal products are the primary source of proteins, most vegans lack this in their diet.

Taurine: It’s responsible for controlling cortisol levels in the body as well as regulating stress responses. It’s an amino acid that contains GABA; a neurotransmitter that helps in sleeping at night. Most vegans and vegan athletes lack this because animal protein is its primary source.

4 Things to do as a vegan athletes and vegetarians

Living a happy, healthy life as a vegan is possible. However, for that to happen, you need to know how to consume vegans healthily. Also, vegan athletes need to remain healthy and productive despite a lot of energy lost during exercise. These tips will help you stay healthy and happy.

1. Get enough sleep

Most people have irregular sleeping schedules. If you fall asleep and wake up to the sound of your alarm, having slept for only less than four hours, that day will be dull. Proper sleep time is crucial to your performance the following day.
Adequate sleep is essential: It can boost your memory because the brains store the information collected during the day in the internal memory, it can lead to the fast growth of body tissues, and your overall health performance. You don’t have to sleep for a whole day, but you can spare seven hours of uninterrupted sleeping time.

2. Consume healthy fats

Vegan athletes consume lots of calories when doing exercise. Thus, they need to ensure they input lots of it as well. If you don’t replace the energy you lost when exercising or performing any task, you will likely lose a lot; you might lose weight and become more likely prone to diseases.
But as a vegan, high-calorie foods such as milk, meat, or even cheese are not anywhere near your diet. Thus, another option is consuming plant-based healthy fats that contain omega and calories; these kinds of plants include chia, avocadoes, oils and nuts, flax seeds, and algae.
Vegan athletes, who don’t consume fatty foods, have been linked with consumption of junk foods because their bellies become empty after a workout.

3. Don’t rely heavily on processed foods

The transition to being a vegan can come due to different motivations; it can be due to the concern for animals and choosing not to kill an animal, or it can also be the desire to eat a clean diet and hence decide to go the vegan way.
In whichever the case, it’s rare to find anyone who doesn’t consume processed foods. However, some vegans make it a habit to consume lots of processed foods. Consuming processed food all through might not be okay for you and may prove not to be a good fit after a long time.
You need to include other foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, or nuts into your diet as well. It shouldn’t be a complete shift, but it should be a new fresh diet.

4. Consume calcium-rich foods

You need to be mindful of calcium because the lack of it can easily lead to Osteoporosis. It’s vital in bone formation and keeping them strong throughout your lifespan. However, since milk is the primary source of calcium, you can consume alternatives such as Soy products, kales, Orange juices, and other green vegetables. Calcium is essential to vegan athletes, who put stress on their bones daily when exercising.

Verdict

Vegan athletes or vegans should consume lots of multivitamins to remain healthy. If you optimize sleep and consume a lot of multivitamin supplements, you should be fit and do as much as what a non-vegan person can do.

]]>When you think of baseball, peanuts, beer and hot dogs are first to come to mind. One usually associates the game with more non-vegan friendly food like burgers, soft drinks, nachos and hot dogs. Well times have changed and even at Yankee Stadium, one the the most prestigious stadiums in the world is on board with vegan food options.

Vegan Food Is Going Mainstream

Once labeled as bland and boring, vegan food have made great progress in a short period of time. According to research 52 percent of the US population prefer the flavor of plant-based products to meat. Vegan burger brands like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat find more customers in meat-lovers than in vegans. Both companies are also headed more into mainstream as it’s served in major chains like White Castle, Taco Bell and TGI Fridays. Beyong Meat recently started a campaign called “Go Beyond” featuring professional athletes, explaining the health benefits behind vegan meat.

Vegan Baseball Players?

When you think about professional baseball players, you probably don’t associate them with being vegan athletes. Well, they are slowly adapting to a new diet that they claim gives them more stamina, better digestion and all around top notch health. Yankees future Hall-of-Famer CC Sabathia changed to a plant-based diet in January 2018 to help improve his health status, the MLB claimed. There’s also at least seven Los Angeles who live a dairy-free diet: Corey Seager, Max Muncy, Kiké Hernandez, Ross Stripling, David Freese, and Kenley Jansen. Retired player Chase Utley moved to the vegan diet for anti-aging purposes and found that it alleviated chronic pain and inflammation. Other professional athletes changed to a vegan diet to cut down their recovery time. When you play 162 games in 180 days it’s all finding ways to preserve your body long term. The players wear cleats for every game, which hurts their feet. Anything they can do to gain an edge, make their body feel better by doing it naturally with vegan food is the way to go. Corey Seager originally stopped consuming dairy while recovering from hip surgery and gives credit to his new vegan diet for allowing his workouts to continue. White there’s no scientific studies to show why athletes would benefit from dairy-free diet, doctors from around the world tell different. Inflammation is the body’s natural response when injury occurs. Most who train daily in addition to playing games, tend to experience inflammation more so than others. Inflammation in professional athletes was documented in a 2014 study in the Bosnian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences and a 2016 study in the journal Biology of Sports. Dairy is absolutely the main source of saturated fat in the American Diet. For our youth it’s milk, for adults it’s cheese and it’s proven that saturated fat can cause inflammation. We all understand from studies that physical exercise-related oxidative stress is linked to inflammation and slower recovery. It’s great that athletes are turning more to a vegan diet and replacing dairy with plant-based products. More antioxidant-rich foods in ones diet is a huge benefit as it’s going to lead to faster recovery and less inflammation.

Vegan Food Options at MLB Parks

Over the past few years more and more MLB stadiums are adding vegan food options to their menu. International animal right group releases their annual list of the country’s most vegan-food-friendly ballparks. Surprisingly, Yankee Stadium failed to make it into last years top list. However, Citi Field, home of the New York Mets and Yankee rival ranked seventh. The stadium offers it’s first all vegan food burger stand, Marty’s V Burger. This year, more and more stadiums including the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Seattle Mariners have consistent vegan food nights where guests are provided a special plant-based menu. Yankee Stadium has been adding more vegan food options that include the Beyond Sausage the Bareburger location last April. Here’s the other vegan food options you can find at Yankee Stadium.

1. Bareburger

Created 10 years ago in Astoria, Queens, Bareburger is popular for having a variety of vegan food options. With just under 40 locations, the chain is transitioning their menu to being 50 percent vegan. Kudos to chef Rudy Ramos aka Vegicano for the transition to offering food to fit those on a strict vegan diet. The Bareburger at Yankee Stadium doesn’t offer the full menu, but definitely has some great options to feast on while watching your favorite baseball team. Currently they offer the Beyond Sausage, a vegan frank served in a Pretzilla pretzel bun topped with pickled jalapeños, and caramelized onions. It was created by a California-based brand Beyond Meat, which is derived from pea protein and has the authentic texture down to the bite of the skin. You can also order the Bareburger’s signature Guadalupe, which features a vegan black bean patty with pickled red ions, guacamole and pico de gallo on a sprouted wheat bun. Brand new to 2019, he Yankee Stadium Bareburger now serves the Changeup, spotlighting the Impossible 2.0 burger with caramelized onions, dill pickles, and green leaf lettuce on a sprout bun. If you want the order to fit your vegan diet, get it without the special sauce and American cheese. A must have, the Avocado Bites. These deep fried avocado slices are served with spicy habanero sauce on the side. For those who want to stay with the classic order, get yourself a side of fries or sweet potato variety.

2. Field Roast Burgers And Franks

Sections 205 and 234 both offer vegan food burgers from Field Roast Grain Meat Co. The plat-based patty is made from a mixture of wheat gluten(seitan or wheat protein), barley, mushrooms, carrots, and spices. The company makes all of it’s”Fieldburgers” by hand in Seattle. Section 115 severs Field Roast Frankfurters, which are a mirror image of taste and looks of the classic ballparks dogs. Similar to the plant-based burgers, the franks are made from wheat gluten and barley. If you’re a fan of the Field Roast vegan burger and dogs, you can find it at other MLB stadiums.

To calm angry fans down they 2 months later they brought it back.

5. Bazzini Peanuts

Another iconic snack that is labeled as a vegan food product, the Bazzini Peanuts. Yankee Stadium started serving Bazzini nuts during the rival game against the Boston Red Sox in 1923.

]]>On Sunday, a 5 second video clip of vegan youtube star Yovana Mendoza might have just crumbled the 28-year-old’s entire career. In the video you can see the vegan food advocate smiling at a restaurant in Bali as she prepares to dive into her meal. In an instant she’s mortified as she realizes her friends camera is pointed directly on her plate. She discretely tries to cover it but the damage has already been done. Her followers who had been watching the 10-minutes vlog instantly knew what Mendoza was trying to hide. She was eating a piece of fish which is not permitted in the vegan community as vegan do not eat animal products. It’s reason like this that vegan youtube stars are imploding.

Mendoza, who goes by the name “Rawvana” immediately uploaded another video claiming she had only been on a fish diet for a last couple months to help with her health complications. She claims the complications had developed after being vegan for 6 years. Former fans started with the comments on her YouTube channel, Instagram and Twitter posting emojis of fish and deemed her as “Fishvana.” Hundreds of vegan youtubers posted reactions to the scandal ultimately dubbing this as “fishgate.”

“I felt like someone had died,” Mendoza has previous said. “It was one of the worst days of my life.” In addition to showing how many ways you can repurpose the word “fish,” the incident brought another revelation to the surface: The vegan YouTube community is crumbling.

Vegan Youtube Channels

To those who do not practice being vegan, the popularity and interest of vegan YouTube might come as a surprise. Some youtube channels attract hundreds of thousands of subscribers and viewers, even though only a small portion of Americans self-identify as vegan. These channels aren’t run by vegan celebrities, but what is known as vegan celebrities-people whos entire online presence is based on using non animal products in their food. Their entire social media life are posts that include them traveling the world, exercising, and documenting every vegan product they consume. However, in recent month several vegan influencers and Youtubers have announced they are now eating animal products setting a fire of backlash and online abuse. The question behind that is, what happens to a vegan Youtuber that is no longer vegan?

First Celebrity Vegan

Freelee Banana Girl was the first celebrity vegan star(real name is Leanne Ratcliffe) and Australian female. She claimed to beat her drug addiction and loose tons of weight by incorporating a diet of nothing but carbohydrates, including up to 50 bananas a day and no foods that had come from animal products. She brought in millions of views with videos of herself and her boyfriend Durian Rider. They consumed pounds of fruit, rice and potatoes, then showing off their flat stomachs in front of their cams. It then created a ton of copycat channels run by rich, skinny kids in their twenties who all seem to have met at a fruit festival in Thailand. Today, if you decide to play a Freelee video you’ll quickly be lead down a web trap of vegan influencers who spend their days at the beach and talking about the benefits of their vegan lifestyle.

As times caught up Freelee and boyfriend DurianRider’s star power seems to decline. As they grew with vegan viewers they also caught the attention of those who debunked their extreme diets and began to call-out the two. Freelee Banana Girl has since wondered deep into what seems to be the South American jungle, where she’s able to somehow find a computer and upload vegan videos while DurianRider has found a new love with a different vegan girlfriend in Australia.

As Freelee and DurianRider faded from the limelight, their all-carb diet also fell with them. Vegan YouTubers started coming forward with informational videos about the benefits of protein, healthy fats and even taking it a step further to the vegan keto diet.

Mendoza Regrets?

Mendoza said in an interview she doesn’t regret sharing her vegan diet over the past few months. She still strongly believes it’s an extremely healthy diet for someone without her medical issues, and she may even to return to it in the near future. She also said she was planning to tell her followers about the switch from being 100% vegan.

“Even if I said it from the beginning, I was going to get backlash,” she said. “It was going to be too much for me to deal with, dealing with people’s comments and reactions and then at the same time trying to heal my body. I needed to focus on one thing.” Whether her followers accepts the reasoning of not, the blacklash from her fans just might have ruined her career forever. Commenters have called her “disgusting,” a “fraud” and a “hypocrite” while others have told her to kill herself. Her mother’s instagram used to be public but she recently switched it to private after receiving messages saying she should have never brought Mendoza into the world. This is part of the backlash as to why vegan youtube stars are imploding.

Ex-Vegan Influencers

This kind of online abuse is normal for ex-vegan influencers. Many of these vlogers find their best material in responding to what other plant-based eaters do, so when someone falls off the vegan wagon it’s not only an outrage, but it’s good content. And that’s where we’re at with the outraged response videos directed at Mendoza, including her former friend Freelee the Banana Girl.

When Bonny Rebecca announced she was eating foods with animal products in it, a pair of vegan twins named Nina and Randa made a full-length “diss track” that features them frolicking in fake furs and dressing up as the literal vegan police. The twins later filmed a follow-up video claiming the diss track wasn’t about Bonny Rebecca specifically, but repeatedly lapsed into her signature Australian accent when imitating the “anonymous” target of their shade. “One of the things that I loved about going into the vegan lifestyle and diet is that I felt that it was very welcoming and very inclusive,” Mendoza said. “But as soon as you decide to make a change, they turn against you, which is really sad.” “It doesn’t make people want to go vegan when they see all this hate.” This is another reason why vegan youtube stars are imploding.

]]>McDonald’s has finally launched their infamous chicken nuggets to the vegan market. The meat-free Mcdonald’svegan nuggets are now available at it’s Norway locations. The vegan nuggets are loaded with chickpeas, cauliflower, corn, carrots, onion, and potatoes, and are have the same crunchy outside layer. It’s no surprise Norway is the country to first launch this vegan food movement as Norway usually leads the way in health and education areas. The vegan nuggets aren’t the only vegan food product to launch in the Nordic regions. Not to mention in it’s Norway restaurants, the second biggest fast food chain the world after subway, launched a Vegetarian McFeast burger. The vegan food burger is made up of a breaded-bean-based patty, McFeast sauce, dairy cheese, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and onion. The burger becomes a vegan food product when ordered with no cheese. The new menu brings a new target audience of fast foods buyers, but will this trend pick up? In 2017, the McVegan burger arrived in Sweden and Finland, where it sold 150,000 times in one single month. The McVegan burger patty was created by Nordic food group Orkla and Orkla’s CEO Peter Ruzicka named partnership with McDonald’s “very successful.”, “People want to eat more plant-based food, partly because of health reasons, but also because of environmental reasons,” he said in a statement. “[The McVegan has] less climate impact than a regular burger made of meat… And this has received a lot of attention worldwide. This trend, of course, is not only in the Nordics.” Last year, Mcdonald’s Finland location launched a second vegan burger patty across its 65 locations, called the El Veggo. The vegan food patty consists of soybean steak, spicy salsa sauce, and vegan McFeast sauce.

Sweden Mcdonald’s

In January, Sweden locations of the fast food giant became home to the McFalafel, a vegan food product Happy Meal option that includes falafels made with chickpeas, parsley, garlic, and cumin and a vegan pepper dip.

UK Mcdonald’s

McDonald’s UK is also getting friendly with the vegan food
market, launching a plant-based meal option of it’s own. The UK’s
version features veggie split pea-based goujons with dairy-free red
pesto sauce. The move came after reports showed that around one in three
Mcdonald’s consumer would like more vegan food options.

US Mcdonald’s

In the U.S. the fast food chain released on a vegan McAloo Tikki at
its global headquarters restaurant in Chicago. The sandwhich, which is
also being sold at McDonald’s India locations, come with a samosa-spiced
veggie patty made from potatoes and peas, as well as egg-free tomato
mayonnaise.

It shouldn’t be too long before the US launches the new vegan nuggets as this is an extremely popular food choice at their US locations.
